Ehi Bluesky! 🦋
I recently opened a Ko-fi page 🎉 and I’ll keep it updated with my silly illustrations.

If you like what you see there, consider supporting it, so I can make some more shrew related art ❤️

How to say a Sorex araneus from a Sorex coronatus?

Well, the #crown is telling!

I might be biased (cat-biased?), but this #pawsitconf submission is just too cuuuuuute 🥹 Thank you for sharing Fennec's talk with us, @cecibaldoni.bsky.social ✨

This is truly getting me pumped for conf in the most adorable way possible 🐈

A promotional image for a fake data science conference run by pets. The left half of the square image is blue and says "Purr-plexing: what your human's code is REALLY doing (and how to fix it) pawsit conf 2025." On the right side is a photo of a kitten sitting on a keyboard staring at a computer monitor. At the bottom right is the cat's name and "company" - Fennec from The Royal Feline Society for Applied Paw-gramming. This is all a bit of fun produced by the folks at #Posit, Libby Heeren and Rachael Dempsey, for the #rstats #python and #databs communities
